I know-I have been a victim of rape and sexual as a young adult...and a male. This crime is something I have NEVER gotten over-it has always been a beginning of my day to remember what happened 38 years ago. The post traumatic residue has trailed me every day...this will be with me until I find peace at the end of my life. …we must not forget-men can be victims too!

This is a disturbing use of aggression that has at its root lust, not discipline, as its goal and justification. It can only be qualified as perverted justice at best, and must be deemed to emerge from the annals of Freudian schizophrenia in its dimensions. If the world is unwilling to examine men's motives in law and justice, how will women ever achieve a sense of human dignity, or equality with such perverted self righteous thinking? This is a case not for the morality of religion, but one for the psychiatrist's couch.

This is a disturbing use of aggression that has at its root lust, not discipline, as its goal and justification. It can only be qualified as perverted justice at best, and must be deemed to emerge from the annals of Freudian schizophrenia in its dimensions.

If the world is unwilling to examine men’s motives in law and justice, how will women ever achieve a sense of human dignity, or equality with such perverted self righteous thinking?

This is a case not for the morality of religion, but one for the psychiatrist’s couch.
